Or, these are so easy biscuits...
You will need
A bowl to mix it up in.
8 x 8 baking pan
Something to stir it with. (I recommend a silicone spatula )
Some measuring spoons and cups.
Ingredients
½ cup of butter, melted
2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups buttermilk ( No worries if you don't have, I'll show you how to make it, see notes )
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F/200C/6 Gas Mark
Pour the melted butter into the baking pan, swirl it around to coat sides some
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, whisk to combine
Add the cold buttermilk, stir with a rubber spatula, forming a shaggy, sticky dough, making sure there are no pockets of dry flour left
Transfer the dough into the baking pan
Push the dough out to fill the pan ( yes, it will be swimming in butter )
Cut the dough all the way down to form a 3 x 3 grid to make 9 squares ( the squares will still be touching each other )
Bake in preheated oven for around 25 to 27 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the biscuits have puffed up
Remove from oven, and re-cut the squares to separate the biscuits
Let cool for about 15 minutes before serving
The biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temp
Notes
To make buttermilk: put 1 ½ tablespoons of white vinegar in a 2 cup measuring cup. Add regular milk to bring to the 1 ½ cup line. Stir. Let set for 5 – 10 minutes. Now you have buttermilk.
Ratio of 1 tablespoon vinegar per 1 cup milk = 1 cup buttermilk.
